Zlatan’s Rise to Fame and Success in Nigerian Music 🎶

Omoniyi Temidayo Raphael, popularly known as Zlatan Ibile, has risen to stardom with his unique sound and energetic presence. Born on December 19, 1994, in Lagos, Zlatan’s journey began in the streets of Ikorodu and soon took him across Nigeria’s music scene. Known for his vibrant Afrobeat and street-hop style, he’s a true icon in Afropop and Nigerian rap.

Early Days and Breakthrough Moments

Zlatan’s story took a major turn in 2014 when he won the Airtel-sponsored One Mic talent show in Abeokuta. With a diploma in business administration from Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Zlatan chose music over business, determined to make a mark. His early collaboration with Olamide on “My Body” in 2017 put him on the map, and he soon rose to fame with hit tracks like “Able God” and “Jogor.”

The “Zanku” Phenomenon

In 2018, Zlatan dropped his game-changing single, “Zanku”, introducing the now-viral dance move, Zanku (Legwork). The track and dance quickly became sensations across Nigeria and beyond, with “Zanku” even turning into an acronym: Zlatan Abeg No Kill Us. This single cemented Zlatan’s position as a trendsetter in Afrobeat culture.

Achievements and Collaborations

Zlatan’s music speaks to the energy and resilience of Nigerian youth. His collaborations with heavyweights like Davido, Burna Boy, and Naira Marley have produced massive hits, including “Killin’ Dem” with Burna Boy, which won multiple awards. In addition to his music, Zlatan is a successful entrepreneur, having launched Zanku Records in 2020. Through his label, he supports emerging talents and showcases his own work, continually shaping the Nigerian music landscape.

Social Impact and Activism

Beyond music, Zlatan has used his platform to support social causes. In 2020, he released the powerful track “Soro Soke” in solidarity with the #EndSARS protests, voicing the struggles of Nigerian youth and standing against police brutality.
